When Astrid woke up she could immediately feel the loss of her powers. She knew getting captured was a possibility, infact she knew that even if she signed the accords they would of deemed her too dangerous.She couldn't help the panic spreading through her veins. She couldn't see any of the others, but she jumped as a hand touched her back and she turned to see Wanda wearing the same braclet as her.
" Are you alright Astrid?" Wanda asked softly and Astrid cursed herself for being weak.
" Yeah this isn't my first time in containment." Astrid stated gritting her teeth.
" I know that's why I asked. Astrid you don't have to pretepretend to be alright." Wanda stated and Astrid's shoulders slumped.
" I can't break down Wanda that helps no one and I've spent most of my life in these kind of situations. Besides I really don't want to show them how scared this place makes me.Do you know where Elara is?" Astrid asked.
" No they are keeping her somewhere else to try and get the reality stone away from her." Wanda replied shaking her head, but then the men came in and Astrid stood protectively in front of Wanda.
" What do you want." She growled.
" Grab her the alien, leave the witch we'll be back for her later." The leader ordered and Wanda tried to move to protect her, but Astrid was allowing them to drag her away not wanting them to hurt Wanda. They dragged her into a metal room and chained her arms to the wall so her back was facing them.
" Hello Miss Chaos I hope my men haven't treated you too poorly I told them I wanted to do all the damage myself." A familar voice spoke as General Ross stepped into the room.
" General what do I owe the pleasure of speaking with you?" Astrid asked scowling slightly.
" Your boyfriend wasn't cooperating with us and so we were hoping you would answer the questions instead and maybe I'll take it easy on you." Ross offered and Astrid glares.
" No thanks I rather face my doom." Astrid stated and Ross shrugged gesturing for the guys to rip off her clothes and Ross held a hard sparking whip in his hands.
" You know I was kinda hoping you would say that." He smirked and he whipped it down hard on her back making her hold back a groan.He spent hours asking about the avengers weaknesses and about her powers, but Astrid stayed firm knowing whatever she gave them would be used against her. Her back was aching when he stopped and she couldn't help the sigh of relief as he frowned in frustration. He whispered some orders to his men and they nodded and left as General Ross grabbed a knife.
" Your tolerance for pain is impressive witch, but it will get you no where with me." Ross stated.
" You're impressed? I'm flattered." Astrid said in a fake sweet tone.
" You know I've thought a lot about you since Hydra came up and I think they had the right idea when it came to you." He said and Astrid scowled at him.
" Yeah and what would that be?" Astrid asked.
" You're a weapon Agent Chaos you showed us that at the airport. I've been trying to convince the council that brainwashing you would be the best choice we had, but you're an avenger. The public would hate us even if we tried to get rid of all the evidence of you helping that day." Ross glared at her and Astrid smirked.
" So we're at a stand still, because you won't let me go and you can't brainwash me. So tell me Ross what is your plan?" Astrid asked and the door opened and Ross's men pulled in Clint who had bruises and cuts everywhere, but seemed mostly alright his eyes glaring at Ross's men.
" Astrid are you alright?" Clint's softened when they met her's.
" I'm fine Clint, So your plan is Clint. I hate to say it, but the answer is still no. Even if I worked with you he wouldn't be let go. Your still going to hurt him even if I became your mindless puppet." Astrid growled at Ross and Clint's eyes widened when he realized what was happening.
" Astrid-" Clint started but the guy punched him hard in the stomach making him bend over.
" Fine you know I hate how risky this is since Stark will be hard to decieve, but prep the chair. Oh and after she's done she's going to have a little test." Ross ordered and they dragged Clint out of the room before coming back for her. She saw one of Hydra's chairs and she struggled against their hold as they strapped her in.
~Tony's pov~
Tony had known the accords were flawed the moment he signed them after all Shade had given him a whole speech criticizing it. The only reasons she signed was, because she loved him, she was scared of the gov., and she knew that in some ways it was right. Superheroes needed to have someone giving them orders. Somebody as an overseer so that the whole civil war thing didn't happen, but it was.
" Tony I know you and Cap are a little conflicted right now, but that guy he is saving is Bucky Barnes. He's not the winter soilder that I knew. He's not the guy that killed your parents. He's an innocent man and right now he's in danger." Shade spoke softly.
" I know, but why didn't they trust me enough to tell me. Shade he's acting like a child!" Tony whined.
" No your acting like a child. I know your mom ment a lot to you, but it's not worth the grudge match you are making. My father will be attacking soon. That's why Astrid came and formed the Avengers and right now we are in pieces. We need to be a team Tony. So please go to the raft, find steve, and get our team out of there." Shade orderes her brown eyes full of passion and Tony nodded.
" Yes ma'am." Tony smirked and he got on the jet and left to the raft hacking into their network. He looked at the cameras and Tony covered his mouth in shock. Elara was half dissected by a team of scientists with a pale inhuman girl struggling to heal her, Clint was getting raped by a bunch of men, Wanda was in a strait jacket, and Astrid was screaming in one of the Hydra chairs. Tony felt sick, but anger bubbled in his chest as he saw Ross outside Astrid's room. If he thought Tony was just going to let him do this to his team then Ross had made a big mistake. Tony got in his stealthsuit Shade had helped him make and put the jet in stealty. There was no way Tony was leaving them here. He was getting them out or getting captured with them.
